Hi folks,
I'm porting a script to Windows, and I've run into an
odd mismatch between the results returned by "glob" and the
-f operator. If I take a test script like the following:
my @files = glob ("*.exe");
for my $f (@files) {
print "Processing \"$f\"...\n";
-f $f && process_file($f);
}
I find that any file name returned by glob fails the "-f" test.
If I put the same file name directly into "-f", the test succeeds.
There don't appear to be any extra trailing or leading characters
on the glob results.
The only explanation I can think of is that it's a
character set problem. Can anybody explain what's going on here?
Thanks,
Bryan
